Screening

Why cancer screening matters

The chances of cure and survival are highest when cancer is diagnosed at an early stage. Screening finds cancer while it causes no symptoms, when it would otherwise go unnoticed.

Too many people are diagnosed only when symptoms appear. By then they often need more aggressive and longer treatment, and survival is lower.

Screening tests exist today for several types of cancer, but it can be hard to know which ones apply to you, and when. ScreenMe is here to help you find out what is recommended for you, based on your age, your health and your personal and family history, following official guidelines.

Prevention and early diagnosis are among the most effective ways to reduce the burden of cancer. Take the questionnaire to see your own screening plan.
